The Role
What You’ll Work On
- Build and maintain python backend services with guidance from senior engineers
- Help build the agent-driven tooling, pipelines, and checks we use to create reusable Rally supply chains
- Work with AI coding agents every day, and help the team find where agents can take on more of the work and where a person still needs to decide
- Write and optimize database queries and REST APIs
- Establish trust in your work with effective development-loop tests
- Take part in code reviews, and ask questions to learn the codebase and the technologies behind it
- Work with customers and customer-facing teams to understand the use cases behind your work
- Take part in design discussions, and apply the feedback you get on your own designs
What Success Looks Like
- First 90 days. You’ve shipped production changes with guidance, use AI agents as a normal part of how you deliver, can find your way around the code you work in, and take part in code reviews.
- First year. You own part of the tooling we use to create reusable supply chains, deliver changes from design to production with little guidance, and have helped change how the team uses AI to ship.
What You’ll Bring
- Curiosity about new systems and technologies, and the habit of reading the docs and code before asking, then asking good questions
- Clear, accurate communication about your work, and honesty about what you don’t know yet
- Some experience building backend software in a mainstream server-side language, from work, internships, or your own projects. We mostly use Python, but value being able to read and understand many languages over fluency in any one. If your strongest language is something else, you should be able to read Python and understand it thoroughly.
- A working understanding of REST APIs and relational databases
- Experience writing automated tests for your own code
- Hands-on experience building software with AI coding agents, interest in pushing how far they can go, and the habit of checking what they produce
Nice to Have
- Experience with FastAPI, Flask, SQLAlchemy, or PostgreSQL
- Experience with Docker and containerized deployments
- Experience with a mainstream cloud platform, such as AWS, GCP, or Azure
- Exposure to distributed systems or data pipelines
- Familiarity with professional media formats, such as codecs, container formats, and metadata, and how media supply chains use them
How We Work
- We’re small and distributed. Most of our collaboration happens over Slack and Zoom, across time zones. You’ll own what you build, and you’ll work closely with people outside your immediate team.
- Engineers stay close to customers. You’ll hear directly from the people using what you build. When something goes wrong in production, the team that owns the code helps fix it.
- We dig for root causes. When something breaks, we find out why instead of patching the symptom and moving on.
- We ship, then refine. We work in short sprints and improve things over time instead of waiting for a perfect first version.
How We Use AI
Logistics
- This is a remote role, open to candidates across the United States
- Occasional travel may be required, but is not core to this role
- Interview process: introductory call, AI proficiency interview, team technical interview, interview project, interview project presentation, and founders interview

Tips for Your Remote College and Career Coach Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote college and career coach openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sifting through general job boards.
Show async communication in your application
Remote coaching teams rely on written updates, shared notes, and recorded video check-ins. Your cover letter and any work samples should demonstrate you can communicate clearly and independently without real-time back-and-forth.
Document student outcomes before you interview
Remote employers can't observe your coaching style in person, so a one-page outcomes summary showing acceptance rates, scholarship wins, or career placement results gives hiring managers concrete evidence of your impact before the first call.
Prepare for a remote-work interview round
Many remote college and career coach roles include a video interview where employers assess your camera presence, background setup, and comfort managing a session through Zoom or Teams. Practice delivering a mock advising scenario remotely before you get to that stage.
Remote College and Career Coach Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote college and career coach job?
Target remote-first edtech companies, online universities, and virtual college access nonprofits, since they build distributed coaching teams by design. Remote employers screen for strong written communication, comfort with async collaboration tools like Slack and Zoom, and the ability to manage a caseload without in-person oversight. A portfolio of documented student outcomes and familiarity with virtual advising platforms gives your application a clear edge.
Which companies hire remote college and career coachs?
Employers currently hiring remote college and career coachs include BK Behavior, One Medical, and Respiris, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These tend to be remote-first edtech firms, online degree programs, college access nonprofits, and workforce development organizations that run fully distributed advising and coaching teams.
Can you get a remote college and career coach job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because you must demonstrate you can work independently from day one without in-person mentorship. Online tutoring platforms, virtual college prep programs, and community-based nonprofits with remote teams are the most accessible starting points. Showing documented volunteer advising, a completed coaching certification, or strong written client communication samples can substitute for formal job history.
Do you need a degree for remote college and career coach jobs?
Not always, though a bachelor's degree in education, counseling, or a related field is common in job postings. Remote employers increasingly weigh demonstrated coaching skills, familiarity with college application processes, and measurable student outcomes alongside or instead of specific credentials. Certifications from recognized coaching or college counseling programs can strengthen an application when a formal degree in the field is absent.
